    Great vid as usual, would love to see more and also how to import as a VDB (pro's/con's compared to Phoenix etc) into a larger scene in Max and Vray. Maybe if more people understood this then there would be a higher demand for more tutorials like this... I assume it won't interact with TyFlow yet?

  • @RedefineFX

    @RedefineFX

    Жыл бұрын

    Yep, those videos are coming. You'd have to export your tyflow sim as alembic or fbx and import into embergen. I knew the comparisons between Phoenix / Embergen were inevitable since most of my audience are 3Ds Max users, but I see embergen as more of an alternative tool that can be used by the entire CG community, not just the Max crowd, rather than a Phoenix competitor. Phoenix is amazing because it lives inside of Max already + can do liquids.
